Don't know if everyone who's replied have used both but I have and I wouldn't go back to a Scott again. Ran one on a CB250 doing 15,000 a year and the vacum hose split and knackerd the rings in that cyclinder. The guy who sells the above makes them for Motax and they sell them at 90 quid and you'll have to pay something like 20 extra for the remote flow adjuster were as this guy sells it with that for around 70 if my memory is correct. I use Scott oil in it. The adjuster is easier to use as well than the Scott. This has numbers so if you're out in rain you can whack it up to max and then its easy to put it back down to the correct flow, around 1 drip per 30 seconds, but with the Scott I found it a pain.

I installed a pro-oiler last year.  It works great and I highly recommend it.

How?

Because that cyclinder was runing weak all the time. On that bike there's a screw on top of the cyclinder head thats for mounting your gauges for syncing the carbs. Thats were you screw in a nipple screw that comes with the Scottoiler to fix the hose too. It was a heavy bike with a little capacity engine because I believe Honda down graded it from the 400 to a 250 when the laws changed and most of its miles were 2 up which I think speeded up the damage because of the load it was under all the time but it was the main cause because the other cyclinder was like new.
